Before Larry Bird became Larry Legend, he was an Indiana State Sycamore. Immerse yourself in Bird paraphernalia from the season he singlehandedly led his team to the 1979 NCAA Championship Game. His finals confrontation against Magic Johson acted as a preview for an NBA show they would run for more than a decade, elevating the league to a media and cultural magnet. The Bird collection includes: a 1979 Indiana State vintage team signed photograph featuring Larry Bird, signed in blue ballpoint; 18 NCAA Tournament and regular season programs, some with the scorecard filled out; rare decals including "The State Bird of Indiana is Larry"; a pair ticket stubs to the NCAA Finals ($15 for the championship!) and six other tournament games; buttons; newspaper clippings; a commemorative 7UP bottle; Indiana State Beer Stein; Sports Illustrateds chronicling Bird's flight to greatness; and numerous other rare bits of ephemera like banquet programs and schedules. Meticulously compliled by a student reporter at the time, this collection isn't just for Bird lovers. It's for basketball lovers.
